Wonsqueak Weekends

Lobster Shack, Wonsqueak Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula, Maine

For hardy Maine lobstermen,
the favorite indoor thing to do,
on dark and dreary weekends,
is to bake chocolate chip cookies,
and sip sleepytime tea...
 at least that's what I heard.

After you bake your own cookies this weekend,
take a moment to check out this superstar of street photography.
or
this fun collection of classic road trip pics.

    This suddenly reminds me of our trip to Norway last year, Doug. This is so idyllic and romantic!

    Lines, patterns, textures really look good in B&W.
    Hey, is that why most nude photography is in monochrome?
    Bake me some lobster cookies, will you?
    Have a good one weekend.

    The photo is great but the places lacks some sunshine.. to my taste...
    And I won't try to imagine how cold the water must be!! :)
    Cheers Dough!

    A secluded place! But too dark, as someone here observed...
    A lot of wonderful photos of flowers during my absence from blogging, Doug:)

    Cool shot man. So, I find myself wondering though, what exactly is a Lobster shack anyway?

    I love the contrasts between the sharp geometrics of the lobster shack and the more curvaceous natural world surrounding it.
